proscar

Avatar m tn s due to using findriside for hair loss. My hair is fine but not worth it now. I only just noticed it four days ago and have immediately stoped taking the medication. Would you say I have done permanent damage or when the findristride is totaly out if my system will it all go back to normal. I have an okay sex life and I am 32.
Avatar f tn Stress will certainly cause more hair loss. And opiate withdrawals causes stress. When you take opiates for a long time like you have, your body's physiology has been altered. Your central nervous system has created a multitude of opioid receptors that all are screaming for endorphins (opiates) to fill them, but your body has now forgotten how to make them by itself.
Avatar m tn Use it twice a week it will clean out all the **** from your scalp and provide a healthy environment for hair loss. Minoxidil is **** because it can irritate your scalp(especially at 5%) and even caus other problems. If you suffer future hairloss I would reccommend proscar( it is propecia but get a pill cutter and cut pills into 4) you have to take it every day but it works for almost everyone to prevent hairloss and maybe grow back more. It has worked for me.
Avatar n tn Finasteride goes by the brand name Propecia (for MPB) and Proscar (for BPH) and is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor used to treat male pattern baldness (MPB) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) [enlargement of the prostate]. The medication works by inhibiting the enzyme that converts testosterone to its bioactive metabolite dihydrotestosterone thus decreasing its levels in the body.
Avatar n tn I NOTIFIED MY DOCTOR, SO WE SCHEDULED TO HAVE MY LEVELS CHECKED AGAIN. I AM WAITING FOR MY RESULTS, BUT MT DOCTOR HAS GONE OUT OF TOWN AND NOW I'M BEGINING TO GET REALLY WORRRIED BECAUSE MY HAIR IS STILL FALLING OUT, SO NOW I HAVE STOPPED TAKING MY MEDS FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS HAPPENING, AND SHOULD I STAY OFF THE MEDS FOR NOW??? I HAVE AN UNDERACTIVE THYROID.. HELP??
Avatar n tn It would be very helpful if we could have a look at your thyroid related test results from the time you were feeling good, and also from the time when you dosage was reduced. You also need to know your test results from Aug. It is a good idea to always get a copy of blood test results and write on there how you were feeling at the time, and your med and supplement dosages. Those reports are a very useful history for future reference.
Avatar f tn My dog Koke has severe hair loss, he was given a urine test and blood test, and he was given antibiotics. He still has hair loss and am scared to take him out on sunny days because of sun burn. Is it old age? He also has arthritis, but I give him doggy asprin. Thank you.
Avatar n tn observation if another biopsy done in 04/09 shows increase in positive cores to 3 or more or if any one core shows 50%+ positive for cancer? Also, is there any current opinion regarding use of Avodart or Proscar while in Watchful Waiting mode? I understand there would be a likely reduction in PSA, but that new PSA baseline be established and return to monitoring of PSA velocity. Not sure what, if any, benefit this would provide.
Avatar m tn While there are many things that can cause hair loss, it's usually worse for thyroid patients when they are hypo, and once medication is adjusted properly, the hair loss stops. As gimel said, it would help us if you could post your latest thyroid test results, along with the reference ranges, which vary from lab to lab, so must come from your own report.
Avatar f tn I then took Armour 15mcg once a day for one month now and I feel so much better but alot of my hair has fallen out. I am not sure if this has been going on and didn't notice it as I had so much beautiful hair. I eat organic as much as possible,do yoga also.
Avatar f tn Is that normal to loose hair after RAI? i had it done for about 2 1/2 months ago.
Avatar f tn Have noticed huge amount of hair loss. Used to have think hair, now, can see my scalp and have receding hairline. Every day, look gobs of hair. Is this normal? when will this stop? Will it ever reverse and grow back.
192918 tn?1199451179 So this is a very silly question - but I'm having A LOT of hair loss....to the point that I'm getting some ugly bald spots (not at all pretty on women!!) When I finally get on the right meds, will my hair grow back or will I always be stuck with bald spots/thin hair?
Avatar f tn Most times the hair loss from alopecia can be fixed with the hair folicles being stimulated by cortisone cream for a few weeks. As much as I hate cortisone cream, I used it years ago after a haematoma (blow to the back of the head and blood clot) as my hair just wouldnt stop falling out. Within weeks it had grown back , it grew back short and spikey at first (fuzzy) but then grew back normal. Take Care and I hope your stress levels subside very soon for you.
Avatar n tn i'm on levrothyroxine could be the cause of hair loss what do i do i used to have thick hair its thinning quick.. doctors don't know what to do !! my results all show up normal should i just buy a wig for the mean time? ???? please help is anyone experiencing this? i'm only 26...
1278937 tn?1271257811 ) We quaranteened him for an entire month in the guest bathroom while waiting for these results and gave him antibiotics 2x a day for this entire time. His hair is now back - appetite great. However; he also experienced extreme weight loss from a little over 12pds down to 8 pds. A little diarrhea is still present (antibiotic side effect??), occasional hairball vomiting but sometimes brown liquid. He seems to be getting SLIGHTLY heavier (very slight) - could weight gain just take a while?
Avatar f tn What's your hair type?
Avatar m tn Hi doctor, I have been experiencing hair loss for about 7 years now. It's getting to the point where I will have to shave it all off soon. It's quite noticeable. I have no hair loss in my family at all. None on my mum or dads side. I'm the only one. I have however suffered from bad anxiety (stress) for quite some years now and wondering if this would be the main cause? Is stress making my hair fall out? I'm quite healthy and all my most recent blood tests are all fine.
Avatar f tn As far as I know they sound pretty normal.
Avatar n tn he tried avodart for 1 year but not worked good for him thats why he stop and try another drug name proscar...
Avatar n tn The Proscar can reduce your PSA by 50%, so future PSA results will have to account for that reduction. Meaning you may have to double your next score for a true value. You need to make it clear what your status was when you took the last PSA test 1.35. Had you already been on Proscar for some time? Others have said "The increase is the key even if it is small."... Right now you don't need to worry about that.
Avatar n tn My doc told me to get the vitamin supplement centrum silver (I'm 27) bc it works wonders for ppl w hair loss. I also got vitamin E..pliers broke it open & opened it up & rubbed it on my scalp. I also bought a product called murad for thinning hair which you can get online. All of that worked wonders!! Within a month I noticed my scalp was not thin anymore & my hair actually began to thicken! If you do by the murad shampoo be careful to not get it near your ears.
